Thanks a lot Pankaj, Sathishji, urucharan Sir, Prejith ji and ushamam for
the good words. Ushamam its my mistake that instead of writing 5000 ft, it
came up as 5000 m. So i wl take care of these type errors onward. Thanks a
lot Gurucharan Sir for understanding every thing.

  It is good to point out small errors made by others, but not at all
  necessary and desirable to do it in a style that tends to belittle
 another
  respectable respectable member. It could all have been conveyed in a
 single
  line Prasad ji, I think you have written 5000 m in place of 5000 feet.
 We
  in this group have high tradition of mutual respect. Respect others and
 get
  that much respect from others.
  If we all follow this tradition, interactions on this group would be
  much more entertaining and an enjoyable experience. Let us all enjoy the
  beautiful photographs uploaded by our members, and be a medium of
  encouragement for them.

   Yes wonderful photographs
   I love Hoiyas, as houseplants they are so docile and not demanding...
   they just sit there ans periodically reward you with these long-
   lasting waxy, sometimes fragrant flowers... thank you for showing this
   variety...
 
   BUT you have me thoroughly confused...
   my memory of Indian geography seems all muddled...
   I do not remember a very high mountain peak as high as 5000 m above
   msl  (see above  (Place of collection: Mahendragiri hills, Gajapati,
   South Orissa   Altitude: 5000 m above msl )  in the Gangetic plains or
   south of it...
 
   5000 m above sea level would be almost as high as Mont Blanc ... may
   be even a bit higher...
   5000 m above msl would be about 16,404. feet or 3.01 miles
 
   would a tropical vine survive and what of the poor trees that host
   these hoyas?
 
   thanks

Re: [efloraofindia:91515] 021111PD01 Pecteilis gigantea Flora of Orissa

Thanks a lot Madhuri mam for encouragement and appreciation. You are
absolutely right. With almost 3000 species of plants (Angiosperms,
Gymnosperms, Pteridophytes) and many many unexplored lower plants, Orissa
is still under explored with its full potential. Now the
mineral deposits in those floral hot spots are posing sever threat of
habitat loss for many rare, endangered, threatened and endemic species.


Thanks Balkar Sir for kind support.

 It is good to point out small errors made by others, but not at all
 necessary and desirable to do it in a style that tends to belittle another
 respectable respectable member. It could all have been conveyed in a single
 line Prasad ji, I think you have written 5000 m in place of 5000 feet. We
 in this group have high tradition of mutual respect. Respect others and get
 that much respect from others.
 If we all follow this tradition, interactions on this group would be

 they just sit there ans periodically reward you with these long-

 variety...


 BUT you have me thoroughly confused...
 my memory of Indian geography seems all muddled...
 I do not remember a very high mountain peak as high as 5000 m above
 msl  (see above  (Place of collection: Mahendragiri hills, Gajapati,
 South Orissa   Altitude: 5000 m above msl )  in the Gangetic plains or
 south of it...

 5000 m above sea level would be almost as high as Mont Blanc ... may
 be even a bit higher...
 5000 m above msl would be about 16,404. feet or 3.01 miles

 would a tropical vine survive and what of the poor trees that host
 these hoyas?

Thanks a lot Prashant ji and Balkar Sir. Many thanks Giby ji for detail
observation. U r right.This is the only member of Convolvulaceae which is
a large woody climber and the fruits are really tasty. This is all due to

Thanks a lot Gurucharan Sir for all of ur appreciation and support to all
new members/freshers. Thats why the group is fan of yours.

Very nice and keen observation Satishji. The reason of posting this image
in the group is only to share the differenc e between Melastoma
malabatricum and Osbeckia chinensis which was creating confusion earlier in
earlier posts.

Giby ji you are absolutely right in understanding details of the images.
But one thing the photograph was taken from the same place (on mountain
top plateau, 3000 ft, but in different locations as
the plateau is stretch up to 7 km with rich bauxite deposits.)

 I can understand the colour difference which is possible as you have

 shades of colours. I was trying to emphasize this in one of similar queries
 related to some other plant.
 One can clearly see the same characters in both the pictures above.
 The typical stamenal structure : Here the subequal stamens(Osbeckia) are
 nicely seen whereas in Melastoma the stamens are grossly unequal. Hope I am
 right?

Re: [efloraofindia:91524] Re: Misidentification makes scientific publications worthless – save our taxonomy and taxonomists

Pankaj Ji I am very much agree with you.
Problems are many with Indian Workers. When we started rather decided to
start some work on floristic elements of Haryana, I searched all 3 big
libraries of Haryana ie HAU Hisar, KU Kurukshetra and MDU Rohtak, I could
not find anything specific to local flora even Flora of Haryana there. Even
either there was nothing like herbaria in any university or if there , not
accessible to even scholars of the same deptt.

Funding!!! Yes a great problem... In last two years we have surveyed
most parts of the Panipat, Karnal, Kurukshetra Yamunanagar Ambala,
Panchkula, jind and Sonipat District of Haryana, Totally on our own
expenses. No funding from anywhere. Even we are not allowed to have Duty
leave from colleges. Because what Govt thinks is that we are only there for
taking classes, do Election Duty, Census Duty, Examination Duty, Paper
marking and so many other jobs. Not a single hour concession in a week is
there to active researchers in any college of Haryana. Still many persons
are working even after taking 4-5 classes of 45 minutes each daily. In such
circumstances how we can expect error free research from them. And i think
same is the scenario all over India.
 I cant forget an instance when one of my research scholar friend was asked
to get an attendance certificate by our Chairman (of Botany Deptt KUK) for
a week visit to their research Area. He/we all fail to understand from whom
we should get an attendance certificate that the concerned person has
visited this area/that village.

One Thing More Important
before saying I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY THIS
The persons who are just finding mistakes in work of others work, What
they are contributing to spread knowledge of Taxonomy to a common fellow
researchers. No doubt they are doing well for their ownself. But have they
shared their knowledge, their resources, old literature they have with them
or in their deptt or anything which can be useful for other fellow workers
also.I have personally faced big problems in big institutions like BSI
Northern Circle Library and Herbaria. I found nobody to help me there to
get xerox of some papers. Even purchasing of ZSI and BSI publication is a
big job in itself. You can get all publication with BPSMPS Dehradoon but
you will get nothing in the office of BSI Northern Circle
One more example-
How many members of efloraofindia particularly from University deptts and
big research Institutes of India are contributing to efloraindia. Except a
few neglegible contributions.

To cope with such problems let us cumulate some suggestion and let them
send to all concerned authorities in India. mere 5% improvement in
situation may help some more researchers

*Thanks*
*AND *
*Sorry if anybody get hurted with my words*

On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 10:37 AM, Dr Pankaj Kumar sahanipan...@gmail.comwrote:

 This is interesting article though. But people should understand the
 limitations of working in universities and departments in India. How
 many young researchers do get an opportunity and access to various
 treatise and herbaria which are mostly kept outside India. Even in
 India,
 How easy is the access to vouchers at national herbaria?
 How easily do the experts, who are actually much elder, respond to
 requests on mail?
 A common researcher, is he funded enough to do all such things on his
 own?

 If I have never seen an ideal horse in my life, then for me all four
 legged Equidae are like donkeys. Because I dont know how Horse looks
 like.

 I have read books by Fraser-Jenkins and Dr. Kholia too. Dr. Fraser
 Jenkins is so much obsessed with wrong identifications especially by
 Indian scientists that he once wrote a book titled, New Species
 Syndrome in Indian Pteridology. Is he sure, he never made mistakes?
 Our own, Dr. S.P.Khullar in his book wrote a big note against him on
 his mistakes and this virtual war went on and on and on.

 I just checked plant list. Of the 49,961 pteridophyte names (including
 infraspecific names) only 9,800 are accepted where as 18,680 names are
 synonyms. Please check how many of them are given by Europeans and how
 many are by Indians.

 Undoubtedly Dr. Fraser-Jenkins is one of the world renowned experts,
 but its us who allowed him to work in India and then he bites on our
 back and we do nothing. Because we are Indians and we always respect
 our guests probably.

 He himself describes the reason at the end, If proper credence and
 funding were given to plant and animal taxonomy, Indian workers could
 easily become experts in the field,.

 I have a friend at a big organisation in India. She is working on
 revision of one genus of Orchid in India. How much fund she
 hasmake a guess... 5000 Rs/year. Now make out how she can revise a
 genus with that fund? To add to this, we have National Biodiversity
 board, who doesnt allow us to send scientific samples outside unless
 some does it illegally. We are not allowed to work with proper funding
 and we are not allowed

I missed opportunity to eat the fruit for 5 years when I was in Kudremukh

This species was there in plenty in the lower altitudes!

 Giby ji and those who wish to revert Gmail to old look, may click on

 It implies that we all get shifted to the new look in some time from now.

Re: [efloraofindia:91536] Cryptocoryne retrospiralis

Thank you Manudev
I now remember from the leaves that I have seen them in the streams in the
evergreen patches and I think may be in Kulathupuzha as well.
But I never know that this plant has such a beautiful inflorescence (the
one that we see is an inflorescence, Am I correct?)

I will mark some plant near Pooyamkuty and Bhuthathankettu and may seek
your help to get it id.

In this series of identification there had been two sets of

if you need I can re post the second as a different observation...

 whether these

   Interesting discussion, Manudev ji and Giby.

   Satish ji, let me try to answer your query.

   In simple terms, Protologue is the original description of aplant
   published for the first time. It may be a book or a paper in a journal. 
   The
   (herbarium) specimen of the newly describedplantis the 'Type specimen',
   with which the botanical name is permanently attached.

   It is customary to refer and quote the protologue and Type, when we write
   a taxonomic article, espl. to be sure that we work on the correctplantand
   correct name. This is what being stressed by Manudev ji here.

   I know, many botanists in the group spend time to refer digital
   protologues and scanned herbarium images from various sources, to identify
   some of the not-so-common plants that are posted here. This may not be
   necessary for all plants, but it is essential to sort out doubtfulid.
   Thanks to the IT, we are now able to at least see these treasures
   digitally, because, Type specimens of many of the Indian plants are not
   available in India, and we can not travel to herbaria for everyplant.

   Pankaj has posted protologues and Types of several orchids in this forum.

   My guide use to tell the necessity of the protologues to reach

   the

   during the preparation of a flora, one have to process thousands of 
   plants,
   and has to make lot of data sheets of eachplanthe/she come across. I am
   not sure how sincerely one can finish all these things in a stipulated
   time. Unfortunately I myself have seen few workers who just cut  copy
   some preceding floras available, even Flora of British India  Flora of

2011-11-03 Thread Samir Mehta

Thank You Muyur ji for the details though I cannot see your post here
in this thread;
For the benefit of group-members on this thread and all others I am
pasting the reply below:

'Samir ji,

There are few websites, or online libraries for archives of old
journals
and books (for Protologue's) might be you aware with this. Even you
can
search plant name from Tropicos http://www.tropicos.org/ they will
provide
all the details of taxa furthermore you can access the original
protologue
from this site.

   Interesting discussion, Manudev ji and Giby.

   Satish ji, let me try to answer your query.

   In simple terms, Protologue is the original description of a plant
   published for the first time. It may be a book or a paper in a journal. 
   The
   (herbarium) specimen of the newly described plant is the 'Type specimen',
   with which the botanical name is permanently attached.

   It is customary to refer and quote the protologue and Type, when we write
   a taxonomic article, espl. to be sure that we work on the correct plant 
   and
   correct name. This is what being stressed by Manudev ji here.

   I know, many botanists in the group spend time to refer digital
   protologues and scanned herbarium images from various sources, to identify
   some of the not-so-common plants that are posted here. This may not be
   necessary for all plants, but it is essential to sort out doubtful id.
   Thanks to the IT, we are now able to at least see these treasures
   digitally, because, Type specimens of many of the Indian plants are not
   available in India, and we can not travel to herbaria for every plant.

   Pankaj has posted protologues and Types of several orchids in this forum.

      Initially I also thought one growing in Kashmir as D. virginiana,
      but only after Kenneth told me and saw D. virginiana in California
      that I came to know than both elongated orange red fruits
      (astringent one) and depressed yellow ones belong to D. kaki only.
      D. virginiana has larger, distinctly glaucous and thicker leaves.

I think it is *C. flammula*.

Most of the internet pictures were wrongly idied, I think, after looking at
digitized herbarium of KEW.

Please check the following links.
I think the leaves and flowers of *C. gauriana* is different.
You may get the plant description of  C. gauriana @

[efloraofindia:91590] tree 10.2011Igatpuri, Nashik

2011-11-03 Thread jui

Hi!
 I am jui Pethe would like to know if u could identify the tree

 Tree (15-20 feet the one i saw)
 bark peeling into Yellow white bark

  Leaves opposite
 ovate with acuminate apex
 chordate base
 10-17 cm long
 crenate margin
 petiole is long 15 cm not reddish more green brown
 the leaf scar was seen on the bark when leaf was shed

 the stem was fibrous as in the (tiliaceae, malvaceae, sterculiaceae
etc)
 group

 local people call it petari and said that the fruits were edible

 many of the malvaceae members are locally called petari...but i doubt
if
 they have opposite leaves.

 I would appreciate even family identification as i have not been able
to
 observe the flowering

please let me know how to attach photographs to this message? or do i
just mail them?
